Testing Options

You have two options for testing our API:

Quick testing is better for exploring our API before making the final decision. Use our sandbox credentials and work in the SB2 Environment. You need to complete only one step — obtain an access token.

Full testing is for building and debugging your applications. Use your credentials and work in the SB2 Environment. You need to complete all steps of the authentication process.

Sandbox Credentials

You can use these credentials to quickly try and test our API. We also use them for code examples in our guides.

Get an Access Token

To obtain access_token, send a POST request to the token endpoint. If you act as a subscriber, copy our request example as is. However, if you act as a provider, edit the request using the sandbox credentials.

Important: Your access_token expires after a set time period, so you need to refresh it to continue calling our API. See Regenerate an Access Token for detailed instructions.

Tools

Our API is accessible by almost anything that can make HTTP requests, so you can use your favorite REST client to interact with our API. We recommend using the built-in Swagger Explorer, Postman, or Fiddler.

Swagger Explorer

Get confident on the playground of the Swagger explorer that is built into our API Reference. It is simple, contains all the necessary information, and features a quick authorization.

Postman

Note: In case you use the Postman browser extension, we recommend deleting it and installing the native app. See Postman blog post for more information.

Fiddler

All examples in our guides have a raw HTTP format representation, so you can try Fiddler to run these examples and debug your HTTP calls. Fiddler is free and can be downloaded from the Telerik official site.
